2pk Girls' Pure Cotton School Blouses

These shirts are great. Bought second time as my daughter can only wear pure cotton. Reasonable price too.

This refers to these blouses and the easy iron and non iron and longer length. Something wrong with this years blouses. I have been buying these for my daughters for 14 years. Have tried 5 different styles now. Sleeves are cut too short. Arm holes too low at the side of the body. And if you try to raise your arms then excess material bunches at the shoulder and shirt untucks. The age 15-16 is smaller than last years age 14-15 blouses and in particular sleeve length shorter and arm hole neater Have also tried the longer length blouse which simply has the arm hole even lower. As you go up a size they just get baggier not longer in length or sleeve length. The senior girls blouse sleeve is barely long enough and the cuff is too wide. This is what we have settled on but I will have to move the button to make the cuff neater. What’s going on?? I cannot understand the sizing. I have just ordered the slim fit blouses to try them - (hopefully arm hole better) and hopefully will have an allowance for a bust which most 16 year olds have as the regular fit pulls at the bust on my Slim daughter. Very disappointed. After all these years and buying over 100 M&S school long sleeve blouses I have never come across a problem like this. I have tried to get help in store but was told it was a bad batch. Can’t believe all the different options are all bad batches?

I ordered non iron blouses and they were labelled as such on packaging and order. On first wash they really did need an iron and I checked the label and it said iron when damp...I have bought these shirts for years and didn't expect being this. M&S views appreciated thank you.

Blouses are soft and comfortable and the main thing is my daughter looks good in them and feels comfortable in them.

You get what you pay for, very white crisp and washes and washes and can be passed on!

Lovely 100% cotton shirts - thank you M&S for supplying them. Please could you supply a short sleeved 100% cotton shirt which can be worn with a collar that is suitable to be worn with a school tie for the summer though? I always iron any 'non iron' shirts as regardless of it being cotton/synthetic, they always look slightly too creased for my liking. But I don't want to be spending an age ironing them. The trick is to tumble on a low heat such as an iron dry setting then all they need is a very quick iron to look perfect and then hung up to air. If they are tumble dried on a high heat they will dry the cotton fibres out too much and cause it to crease in the machine and make it difficult to iron even with steam later. I wouldn’t say they were non iron, but then again I wouldn’t say any shirt is truly. But I would rather have an easy iron cotton shirt than a synthetic any day.

This is far from non-iron. As is my wont, I washed these before my daughter wore them. They were the only thing in the washing machine (I bought three packets, so six shirts), and then put them in the tumble dryer. Wrinkled. Well, I wasn't surprised, as they had been in a package for who knows how long and were heavily creased from that. I ironed them, and she has now worn one to school. I washed it today with other clothing, and put it in the tumble dryer. Every section of fabric has fine wrinkles, so it will need ironing before she can wear it to school. Also, some of the cuffs are sewn poorly around the buttonhole. Some of the fabric lies nicely, but around some of the buttonholes the fabric is bunched up, which leads me to think either the tension wasn't correct or whoever sewed it did not guide it properly. I strongly suspect the latter, as the stitching and the fabric lay is good for the rest of the cuff. This I find very disappointing in an M&S product.

Very excited at the prospect of responsibly sourced 100% Cotton Non-Iron shirts. Too good to be true I am afraid. I labelled them and rinsed them through and sadly they looked very wrinkled - as you would expect from 100% Cotton. Ironically the care label says "for best results iron whilst damp"
